While inside the room all by himself, Adoth spoke to him again, telling him his status.[Task failed. Results are as follows. XP level: four. Strength: twenty five. Speed: thirty six. Agility: Seventeen. Stamina: fifteen. Stealthily: five. Vitality: fourteen. Technique: nine.]In the midst of his mourning, this was the worst thing he could hear. It amazed him why his abilities had to be downgraded instead of being upgraded, so he chose to quarrel the system. "Adoth can you explain to me the meaning of this thing you are saying? Last I remember my speed was at thirty nine."[For every failed or disobeyed task, you will be downgraded and there is nothing you can do about it other than to accept it as it is.]"You know what? I'm done. You can leave my body now. I am no longer interested in saving mankind. I refuse to be your host." Stan said in anger though he meant some percentage of what he said.[That is not how this thing works. I found and chose you which you also gave me your conse
A few minutes later, Stan came out of the room and saw Lisa with her face of guilt still buried to the ground. He was shocked by this and needed to know why she was that way, but didn't want to ask her first, so he signaled Nassor to come with him as they went outside the building in order that she would not hear what they would say about her.As they came out of the house, Nassor didn't wait for him to ask what he had in mind, he threw his question first. "What did the system say to you?""What it always does. Adoth has given me a new task." Stan answered."What is this new task all about?""Well, would you allow me to ask my question first?" "Ooh, sorry, I didn't know that was why you called me out here, please go ahead." "It's okay..." Stan began, "Why is Lisa like that? Did anything happen?""Ermmm, nothing really, just that we got in a conversation and I told her the truth."The word 'the truth' Stan knew that he had said something cruel to her. Something he shouldn't have said
After the harsh and threatening words from master guzman, trisha had to calm down and not say anything again because should see so much seriousness in the eyes of guzman while he said those words, therefore she was without doubt that he was going to what he said without having a second thought. yet she still wondered how he was able to know that she was running away from her parents.Ling heard all that Guzman said to Trisha and he felt bad for her, he understood the cause of Trisha's worry and he was also worried about Stan because he shouldn’t have left the academy without him, but then the mistake had been made already and there was nothing that could be done. All he had to do was to wait patiently till Guzman bring them back to the surface of the earth.Due to the curiosity of Trisha to know how long they have to stay in the tunnel, Ling was forced to make inquiries, so he moved forward, closer to guzman. “sir.”“Ling,” Guzman responded as he kept leading.“Permit me to ask, how l
Nassor Dimka who had been enjoying the view from the top of the skyscraper on his own end sighted something he wasn’t comfortable with, some aliens were on the street with people running up and down, going into safety while some being killed, so he felt they should help the people and Stan was he one that would lead them on such. So he walked up to Stan at the end where he was still thinking about what Adoth had just told him about having limited time to find Trisha and Ling. “Gibson, there is trouble and I believe the system has told you about it.”“What is it?” Stan asked him because what the system told him was something far from what Nassor might be thinking.“The aliens have entered the streets and the people need help.”“They are elites, so they should save themselves with the chips they have or call the armed forces.” Stan answered because that was not what the system had told him. He was thinking seriously on what Adoth said to him. Also he did not want to disobey the system
Nassor froze at the words of Stan, he didn't know that the news had brought about so much anxiety. The countenance of Stan showed that he was not going to take any slight lie from him likely. He could understand a little of what Stan was feeling. Yet he did not know how to answer the question that was asked in a way that would not cause further disappointment in Stan."I'm the son of a president." He began, taking a pause to observe the impact of that sentence before continuing further.Lisa's eyes widened as he made that statement, even Stan found it very difficult to believe that sentence as he never acted like a president's son.Yet with the surprise on the face of both Stan and Lisa, he continued, "My father is Juma Dimka, the president of Tanzania in Africa. That is why my name is on the list."Stan was short of words as he didn't get how no one was able to know about such in the school. Nassor was seen as one of those elites whose parents did not really matter because even among
Even though they had become silent, the aliens were already sure of their presence, and in addition to this, they were still looking for Adoth's host which happened to be Stan so with him coming close to them, they could sense his presence thus opening fire in the part which they were hiding. "Oh shit!" Nassor complained as the laser bullets began to hit the barrier which was between them and aliens. "Do you still have armor?" Stan asked Nassor as they were with the weapons secured in the academy before leaving. "Sure." "Cover me," Stan said. At once Nassor fired back at the direction of the aliens because he could not bring out his head to aim properly. That was the best way he could cover Stan. With the rapid fire of Nassor, Stan parted ways with Nassor and Lisa, he ran for another block and as he did this, he aimed and shot the alien, hitting three and drawing attention to himself, as they neglected the shots coming from Nassor and focused on him. It was literally the first t
Ling looks around the environment where they have come out as he thinks carefully on what to do next. He still did not get why Trisha was asking those questions, based on their implants, he should be the one doing the asking while she does the answering.Well, he just concluded that maybe he doesn't know what her implant has really boosted, so he had to answer the question she asked. "I think the first thing to do is to leave the streets and find out where exactly we are. Before thinking of where to go."While talking, he heads for one for the buildings along the road, it looked like a busy company, but with the apocalypse rising, the place was quiet and deserted, yet that did not stop them from finding their way, as it was better to be inside the building than out there on the street, exposed to the aliens.As if Ling knew that danger was close, as they were entering the building, an alien spaceship was approaching the location. Hearing the noise of the spacecraft, they both looked o
Stan Gibson, Nassor Dimka and Lisa Perry successfully out smart those aliens as they did not stop shooting at the block which Stan is believed to still be hiding behind until they approached it only to see that no one was behind the block which had made them discard the Nassor and Lisa who would have fallen victim of them. At the time when they noticed Stan was not hiding behind the supposed block, it was already too late.Miles away from the place, Stan, Nassor and Lisa were panting heavily due to the race they had indulged in. They have been running in that pace for close to an hour since they had to make sure none of the aliens were after them.Still panting heavily, Nassor asked Stan. “How did you escape?” he paused, inhaling and exhaling rapidly. He really wanted to know how Stan was not hiding at the back of the block which he had run to. “I saw you run behind that wall.” Stan was also panting heavily, and he also knew that his move had amazed them. But he just could not answer
